So in Persian a ه doesn't connect to another ه or is it just for the ها plural suffix?
ماه ---> ماه ها
هفته ---> هفته ها
but
سالها
شبها
Interestingly my Persian keyboard does allow ماهها

Talha wrote:1. دختر is like بنت in Arabic in that it means 'girl' or 'daughter' depending on context, correct?
2. https://forvo.com/word/fa/%DA%A9%D9%88%D8%AF%DA%A9/#fa
I'm distinctly hearing the first pronunciation ending more like a چ sound. Regional variation?
As much as I have respect for your tremendous efforts, eskandar, I do encourage others if they have the knowledge to educate me too with these queries.

در لندن امروز هستند natural?

Talha wrote:I don't get it. Can't you use the plurals without the pronouns?
Also: what's the difference between ايشان and آنها?
Talha wrote:From an exercise to give negative answers:
شما نقاشيد؟
Official answer:
نه ما نقاش نيستيم
Say it was not the "royal 'we'" wouldn't we have to use the plural نقاش ها?

Talha wrote:Thoughts about these different versions? The second is closer to the English I guess:
1تهران از شيراز سردتر است
2تهران سردتر از شيراز است

Narguess Farzad is an amazing teacher in person and I feel very fortunate I could join her class in the end.
I hope Ustad eskandar is doing well. Best wishes to all with your language learning resolutions for next year.)
